Hardware Labs Black ICE Radiator GT Stealth 240-I'd not recommend this rad,look for some test of it.240mm rad is really not enough for summer time in my opinion.My setup on one rad 360mm phoyba g-charge (60mm thick) for i3570k and hd7970 was just about right.

He's using a 250d

Yep, unfortunately very limited on space!

Have a look online at build logs etc and see if you'd be happy with the temps

If you dont go for overcloking i sugest you to use a passive cooler like Thermalright HR-22, its a waste of money WC on a non-overclocked system. If your going to overclock, i'm not sure if 240mm will be enought. You already have a WC system or your buying it new?

I used to have a large water-cooled rig in a 750d, I do have some old XSPC stuff however I prefer the look of the EK kit.
Think I just miss having stuff under water, was very quiet and boy does the 770GTX belt some heat out with the stock fans on!!
I would just WC the graphics card, however I would only have space for a 140mm RAD (I have a H100i fitted)
